In Part 3 of the Zero RB Candidates Countdown, Shawn Siegele presents all of the advanced stats behind his priority running back targets for 2020. For those of you on this ride from the beginning, we’ve arrived at our final destination. Skip down to the countdown for the five RBs who provide league-winning upside at a fraction of what it costs to draft their early-round…...

Yesterday, we crafted a 4-Step Plan to Dominate with an RB-RB approach in 2020. But does that plan work from every draft slot? If you have a late pick in 2020 drafts, you’re playing from behind. This is fairly intuitive as you won’t have a shot at players like Christian McCaffrey and Michael Thomas. You won’t be able to select any member of the Big…...

Jalen Reagor, Philadelphia’s star rookie wide receiver, dislocated his shoulder at practice reaching out to tackle a defender who was returning an interception (why are offensive players tackling during turnovers in practice?). He shouldn’t need surgery, at least during the season, and was given a 3-4 week timeline. Therefore, he’ll miss Week 1 and probably Week 2. He could play Week 3 and should be…...

Many of the smartest people have been advocating a similar approach regarding tight ends in fantasy drafts ahead of the 2020 NFL season. There is a “Big Four” at the top of the position, with Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Mark Andrews, and Zach Ertz the acknowledged leaders. Given their track records and expected opportunities, these are the safest options to take at fantasy football’s most…...

2020 is the year of the running back. Earlier this year, Jack Miller demonstrated that RBs are going earlier than ever. In some cases, far earlier. This has created the perfect storm for Zero RB dominance, but it’s also provided an opening for savvy RB-RB drafters. Here’s my four-step plan for using early RBs to decimate your league. The RB Landscape The latest early-round ADP…...

Dave Caban compares RotoViz Ultimate Rankings to Tight End ADP and highlights the player that drafters may be too low on. Over the course of the last couple of months, I’ve built projections for every NFL team, explored historically based range of outcome projections, and helped to create our RotoViz redraft rankings. Each exercise played an important role in shaping my overall view of the 2020 fantasy football…...

We are in the heart of draft season. As the NFL season inches closer, redraft leagues are in full swing. In my last two pieces, I focused on addressing streamable options at both the quarterback position and the tight end position. Each of those quarterbacks and tight ends has a favorable early-season schedule that should allow you to get your team off to a strong…...

Auction drafts are easy to “win” but even easier to “lose.” In this series, Dave Caban will overview the preparation, thought processes, and in-auction strategies needed to ensure that you’re ready for the intensity and challenges auctions will throw at you and are poised to leave your draft with a contender. On August 13, I took part in The Huddle’s 2020 Expert Auction. I’ve participated…...

Dave Caban compares RotoViz Ultimate Rankings to Wide Receiver ADP and highlight players that appear to be mispriced. Over the course of the last couple of months, I’ve built projections for every NFL team, explored historically based range of outcome projections, and helped to create our RotoViz redraft rankings. Each exercise played an important role in shaping my overall view of the 2020 fantasy football season and the…...

There aren’t a lot of guys like Josh Jacobs. We don’t have any close comps for him in the Box Score Scout, in part because backs who gain 640 yards, catch 20 passes, and skip combine testing are simply not selected in the first round. That first-round pick wasn’t necessarily wrong. Jacobs went on to an impressive rookie season where he averaged 4.8 yards per…...
